Exhaust size and velocity
65cayne's post got me thinking - watch out!
What is the rule of thumb for header/exhaust diameter?
Too small - air throughput is restricted.
Too big - velocity is reduced.
I would think the ideal diameter is a function of actual CFM througput.
Or perhaps the target is an ideal velocity that is a function of CFM and diameter.There is no limit to what a man can do . . . if he doesn't mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan)

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
